    Although there is no immediate threat from Russia, some young people in Finland are concerned about their own safety, with many asking if the war could spread.
    Russia and Finland share a 1,300 kilometre-long land border. Geographical proximity and the fact that Finland is not a member of Nato has increased stress levels.
    Watch how teachers in Finland’s biggest school help children cope with mental health challenges created by the war.
